How to Reset Your Password

You can easily reset your own password from the Settings--> Configuration--> Account Access screen while logged in to ReceivablesPro. If you forget your password, you can re-set it from the log-in screen if you have configured Security Questions.(See About Security Questions for instructions.)

 

It is important that you re-set your own password if you have forgotten it. After 5 unsuccessful attempts to log-in to ReceivablesPro your account will be locked, and you will need to have an Administrator for your account re-set it. Master Administrator Users who get locked out will need to contact ReceivablesPro Customer Careyour service provider to unlock the account.

 

Resetting Your Password from the Account Access Screen

  1. Click the “Settings” link in top-navigation.
    NOTE: For users assigned the standard User role, or assigned any custom role that does not provide access to the Settings center, an “Account Access” link will be placed in top-navigation. Clicking this link opens the Account Access screen.

  2. Click the “configuration” tab.

  4. Go to the Change password section at the bottom of the screen.

  5. Enter your current password in the Old Password field.

  6. Enter a new password in the New Password field.
    NOTE: Remember that passwords must be at least 8 characters; contain at least one capital letter, one lowercase letter, and one number; cannot contain your User ID; and cannot be repeated for 5 password cycles. If you enter an invalid password, the system will display an error.

  7. Re-type the new password in the Confirm New Password field.

  8. Click the “save password” button.

  9. A success message will be displayed at the top of the section confirming that the password has been changed. The next time you login to ReceivablesPro use the new password you just set.

  10. You will receive an email confirming your password has been reset. You do not need to do anything else.
    NOTE: If you receive this email and you HAVE NOT just re-set your password, please contact ReceivablesPro Customer Care immediately at your service provider. It is possible that your account has been compromised.

You can change your password as often as you like. If you believe it has been compromised, be sure to re-set it immediately. It is also a good idea to re-set your Security Question if you believe your password has been compromised.

 

 

Resetting a Forgotten Password

You will need to know your User ID and the exact First Name and Last Name for your User in order to re-set your own password. If you do not know this information, ask any Administrator User on your account to look-up this information for you. You can also contact your service provider for assistance.

Follow the steps below to re-set a forgotten password:

  1. Click the “forgot password?” link from the Log In screen, as shown:

  2. The reset qualification page appears. Enter your User ID, First name and Last name exactly as they are saved for your User Record, then click the “submit” button.
    NOTE: If there is an error with any of the fields, the system will display an error message at the top of the screen. You will not be able to proceed unless the values entered in these fields exactly match those stored in the system. (The fields are not case-sensitive.)

    One of your three security questions will be displayed. Enter your answer in the Security answer field. Click the “submit” button.
    NOTE: If there is an error the system will display an error message at the top of the screen. You will not be able to proceed unless the Security answer you entered exactly matches what is stored in the system. (The field is not case-sensitive.)

    NOTE: If you answer incorrectly five consecutive times your account will be locked. Additionally, once you answer a question incorrectly you will continue to see that question until it is correctly answered. For your protection, the system will never present a different question if the first one is answered incorrectly.

  3. You are now prompted to create a new password. Enter the new password in the Password field, type it again in the Confirm password field, then click the “log in” button.
    NOTE: Remember that passwords must be at least 8 characters; contain at least one capital letter, one lowercase letter, and one number; cannot contain your User ID; and cannot be repeated for 5 password cycles. If you enter an invalid password, the system will display an error.

  4. Your new password is saved. Use the new password you just created the next time you log-in.

You will receive an email confirming your password has been reset. You do not need to do anything further.
NOTE: If you receive this email and you HAVE NOT just re-set your password, please contact your service provider. It is possible that your account has been compromised.

If you are unable to re-set a forgotten password yourself, either because you have not yet set a Security Question, if you can’t remember the answer, or if your account is locked, it can still be reset with a password change email.

Any Administrator User can reset the password using the “reset password” link from the Edit User screen. (See Reset Passwords for Users in Chapter 8 for instructions.)
